Mistaken Identity Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 I was just wondering if it's possible to find love again at the age of 44?
dnm1010 Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 yes it is. my gramma was married to my grampa but she never loved him. years after he passed away - she was prolly in her 50s she met a man and fell in love with him. he treats her well and since i never really met my grampa i call him grampa and even though theyre not married theyve been together for many many yrs and she is very very happy. 44 is not old. there are many people who dont get married until theyre in their 40s anyway. you have a lot of good years ahead of you.
buzzie2 Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Yes! It's possible to find love again at ANY age. My mother met her second husband and fell in love with him when she was 51. It may be harder to meet single people who havent been affected by a painful divorce at this age, but I still believe you could meet your soulmate. Remember that we are only as old as we feel. They say now that 40 is the new 20. So keep your eyes open, stay positive, and you may meet the person of your dreams and live happily ever after( or something like like) before you know it. Good Luck, buzzie2
Adunaphel Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 I think it is definitely possible. It happened to some people I know (including my best friend's mother). I dare say it's a little easier if you are a man.
helena abadi Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 is it possible? absolutely, at any age. as you get older the dating pool shrinks, and so finding someone is a more strategic exercise. and they are likely to have baggage from prior relationships, but by 44, so do most people. you are never too old to fall in love or find it. my dad remarried when he was 60. he and my stepmother adored each other, they acted like moonstruck teenagers. they were really in love and v happy.
Basic Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 baggage from prior relationshipsKeep an eye on their baggage level. Too much isn't worth it. 1
HokeyReligions Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 I was just wondering if it's possible to find love again at the age of 44? .......yes.......
targetbag Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 Yes. My mom met her current fiance 14 years ago when she was 41. He's truly the love of her life, and she's much more compatible with him than she ever was with my dad, who she was married to for 17 years. Good luck!
csfong007 Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Absolutely! I had pretty much given up. I will be 50 in July. I haven't dated anyone seriously for the past 10-12 years. A co-worker of mine introduced me to her Uncle 9 months ago. While he isn't perfect and neither am I, there are a lot of nice things between us, like friendship, companionship, love, sex, and caring. It is wonderful to feel love and to be in love and to be be loved again. Definitely keep your eyes open. Because if it happens to you you will feel wonderful all over again.
witabix Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 I have to agree, at 45, one thing I would emphasise is the baggage. You have to be careful of your own and watch out for theirs. However with a greater experience of life it is , I think and hope anyway, possible to deal with it all. Lets face it unless you have lived a perfect life up until now there will be baggage.
justagirliegirl Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Good grief No!! A friend of mine had been single by choice for years. She met a lovely man and now they live together. She is 50 and he is 45. I'm 43 and am in a relationship. I get hit on all the time by guys of all ages. As for baggage, some will have it some won't. My kids are grown.
JayKay Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Too late? Never. One of my mom's good friends lost her husband at age 52. She closed her practice (she was a psychiatrist) and decided to follow a dream she'd always harbored....to live in Ireland. She moved to Ireland and a year later met a man. They fell in love and got married and are still together, years later. It's never too late. People are people and will always seek love and companionship, no matter how old. Oh, I used to have a patient who was in his 90's when I knew him. He'd lost his wife around 1990. He started going to senior center events in the early nineties and met his girlfriend (a 'girl' around 80 or so) at a senior dance. He loved her dearly and she was at his bedside when he died in 2002. The heart never grows old.

sneakygurl Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Baggage? Puke. I hate that term. As if any of these self-righteous people don't have their own personal baggage. Ridiculous. Everyone has a life that has had ups and downs and everyone handles it differently. Do not get all high and mighty thinking that someone has "too much baggage". It is a pretty lofty excuse to get out of relationship. If you love someone enough their problems concern you too.
